I Was Country When Country Wasn't

I Was Country When Country Wasn't - Country Big Band

I remember wearin' straight leg levis and flannel shirts

Even when they weren't in style

I remember singin' with roy rogers at the movies

When the west was really wild

And i was listenin' to the opry

When all of my friends were diggin'

Rock 'n roll and rhythm & blues

I was country when country wasn't cool

I remember circlin' the drive-in pullin' up

And turnin' down george jones

I remember when no one was lookin'

I was puttin' peanuts in my coke

I took a lot of kiddin'

'Cause i never did fit in now look at everybody tryin' to be

What i was then

I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country from my hat down to my boots

I still act and look the same what you see ain't nothin' new

I was country when country wasn't cool

They call us country bumpkins for stickin' to our roots

I'm just glad we're in a country

Where we're all free to choose

I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country when country wasn't cool

I was country from my hat down to my boots

I still act and look the same what you see ain't nothin' new

I was country when country wasn't cool

Yeah i was country when country wasn't cool
